All candidates must register for the "Match." Registration is available at natmatch.com.

Applicants chosen to interview at Gundersen are offered lodging accommodations the night prior to the interview. Complimentary shuttle service provides transportation to and from the hospital, and to the La Crosse Regional Airport (Airport code: LSE). The night before the interview, the applicant will be escorted to dinner by a pharmacy preceptor and current resident.

The interview day includes one-on-one interviews with the Residency Program Director and Administrative Director of Hospital Pharmacy Services. The day will also include a casual lunch with our current pharmacy practice residents, an opportunity to meet many of our pharmacist preceptors during a roundtable, and a benefits discussion. To accommodate all of our candidates, we offer interviews on Mondays and Fridays during January and February.

Any other important people in your life are invited and encouraged to participate in the interview day, explore employment opportunities, or simply tour the La Crosse area.
